Routes in 60 seconds
Let's get started on building your first route by adding waypoints, shaping the path by directly tapping on the map, and starting navigation.
Step 1: Search for your first waypoint
Open Track Attack, tap the road icon in the main tab bar, then tap the "New route" button on the top left. The route editor opens and centers on your current location.
Tap the + button, tap inside the search box, and search by address, location, or venue name. Nearby results are prioritized; if the right place is not listed yet, keep typing the full name and add the state if needed.
Tap on a result to preview the route to that location. This does not add the waypoint yet, so you can try other results to make sure it's the correct place.
- Tap the green check mark to accept the waypoint.
- Tap the red cross once to clear the preview and choose another result.
- Tap the red cross again to clear the search.
Step 2: Tap on the map to shape the route
Add another waypoint by tapping the map instead of searching. Tap + again, then pan and zoom along the route to find the road you want to include. The map shows your current route and waypoints while you explore.
Use the map/satellite toggle in the top-left corner if it helps. Tap the map to preview a waypoint, tap again to fine-tune the location, then tap the green check mark to add it to the waypoint list.
Step 3: Reorder waypoints and tag waypoints as stops
Keep adding waypoints with search or map taps, then refine the route from the waypoint list.
- Tap and hold a waypoint, then drag it up or down to reorder it.
- Swipe left to delete or rename a waypoint.
- Swipe right to tag a waypoint as Parking, Rest stop, Food & Drink, or Gas.
Use stop tags for real destinations and untagged waypoints for route shaping. During navigation, Track Attack keeps the list cleaner by showing stops and collapsing shaping waypoints.
Step 4: Start driving!
Tap the location icon to drive the route. You can also return to the route list, select the route, and tap the "Start route..." button.
- The waypoint list highlights your stops.
- The information marker summarizes time and distance to the next stop.
- The map moves and rotates smoothly as you drive.
Tap on the waypoint name to switch between name and address. Waypoints are marked complete automatically as you pass them, or you can use the "..." menu to complete or reactivate them manually.
Step 5: Save, share, and reuse routes
Tap back to the route list. Your route is saved automatically with a generated name. Tap and hold the route to open its menu.
- Rename route: give the route a custom name so it is easy to find later.
- Share Track Attack route: send the route with waypoint names and stop types intact. Recipients are routed from their current location to the first waypoint.
- Share Google Maps link: create a fallback link for Android users. Check the route before sharing because to make sure it matches. If Google Maps routing differs, you may need to add more control waypoints to shape the route.
- Duplicate route: make a copy for edits or alternate versions.
- Reverse route: create a copy with the waypoints reversed.
- Favorite and tag: organize saved routes and filter them later.
Use search to find routes by route name, waypoint name, or location. If you want to plan from the first waypoint instead of your current location, turn off route preview from current location.
One More ThingTM
Track Attack can also record road drives with video, maps, and data. Tap the record icon while navigating to capture the drive, or start a road drive without directions to use free roam mode. The map rotates live and fills the entire screen when no route is active, and recording stays one tap away.
If you haven’t tried Track Attack for road driving yet, give it a shot. And if you see a Track Attack livery vehicle out on a windy road or at the track, come say hi.
See you on the road,
